Rayla/New Moon from part 2 of Chasing Shadows, continuing her streak of rock solid life and career choices. She needs someone to tell her assassin —> pitfighter is at best a lateral move

Also, she needs a hug, damn. Getting her ass kicked because she’s pining too hard in the gladiator pit, girl, stop 😭

It was foolish to call the faraway castle of Katolis home. She did not belong there. She’d turned her back on it, she’d walked away, and had not earned the right to return. And yet—it was the only place in all of Xadia her heart wanted to go.

Cecil felt the tremors run through Jonah’s body “she’s young. She can learn.”

“You’re right she can,” Jonah agreed, taking deep breaths in an effort to keep the rising anxiety from escalating further. “Is Morgyn sure the best course is to have her stay in ROM?”

“They strongly advised us to consider it,” Cecil agreed. “I’ve taught her all I can. It’s not a matter of ability. She’s powerful. What she needs to learn I can’t teach her.”

“Nor can I,” Jonah sighed. He hated the idea of sending her away. He would only because he knew it was for her own good. “Now all we need to do is convince Ethan it’s for the best.”

My Favourite Reece Shearsmith Characters

So it's Reece Shearsmith's birthday today, so I decided to celebrate this by sharing some of my favourite characters played by this fantastically talented actor

These are in no particular order

Gregory Brewster - Him Indoors

Him Indoors is a short film about a serial killer with agoraphobia. Not only is the premise very interesting, Reece delivers a chilling yet very entertaining performance as the main character. It's on YouTube if you want to watch it, which I highly reccomend you do!

Tommy - Bernie Clifton's Dressing Room

This HAD to be on the list! Reece's performance as Tommy is heartbreaking, we watch a man seems to put-together and serious slowly fall apart and lose control of his calm façade - impeccable work

Sean Stone - Chasing Shadows

Admittedly, I don't know where the watch the full show, but I have seen clips and I knew I had to put it on this list because of Reece's portrayal of an autistic person. You can tell he put a lot of thought and research into it in order to give a realistic performance, which is a testament to his dedication and how much he truly cares about the roles he plays and who he's representing

Tyler - Riddle Of The Sphinx SPOILERS BELOW

If there's one thing Reece is good at, it's how to play a chilling villain. Everything about Tyler is unnerving and he manages to be terrifying without being loud or angry all the time. It's measured and the emotion builds and builds - fantastic work!

Joseph Lisgoe - The League Of Gentlemen

I've mentioned before that the debt collectors were underused, and I simply had to talk about how extraordinary Reece's performance as Lisgoe was. He completely dives into the roles he plays and this one was no exception, not even a light smashing on his closest friend stops him from carrying on a scene (just check out the outtakes!), he simply embodies the part and delivers a performance that terrifies the cast, crew and the audience

Laurence - Merrily Merrily SPOILERS BELOW

Merrily Merrily is an Inside No. 9 episode that I can never rewatched because of how empty it made me feel - and I mean that in the best way possible! Laurence is wracked with pain over the loss of his late partner, and Reece delivers such a subtle yet haunting performance that I don't think I'll ever stop thinking about it

Ross Gaines - The League of Gentlemen

Ross is such a fun character because of how manipulative, calculating and cold he is. Not only does it set him apart from the other inhabitants of Royston Vasey, it makes his scenes with Pauline all the more tense and entertaining - and Reece really does deliver in the role. I'm glad they decided to go with this casting choice

Aiden - Thinking Out Loud

Like with Laurence, Reece delivers a hauntingly stellar performance. What makes this one really special is that it's a monologue. There's nobody for him to bounce off of or react to, he has to reach those emotions himself. And, as always, he nails it

Ollie Plimsolls - The League Of Gentlemen

I've said before that I think Ollie is one of the most cleverly written League characters and I stand by that. As a representation of the Saviour Complex and self-righteousness of people in theatre, Ollie is a character that should be easy to hate... but because of Reece's expert comedic timing and delivery, he ends up being so funny that you can't help but laugh every time he's onscreen

SPECIAL MENTION: Gilbert - Betty Blue Eyes

Reece Shearsmith said in an interview that he wasn't a great singer. Reece Shearsmith is a liar. Don't believe me? Listen to The Kind Of Man I Am from Betty Blue Eyes and thank me later

Also, if you can find it, there's a short bootleg of him in The Producers which is good too!

Of course, this are just a few of his performances and he's never delivered a bad one - whether he's playing a comedic character like Archie in The Bill or a more serious one like in Borley Rectory. And we haven't even touched on his writing skills, I can't wait to see what he does next!

[tategaminu]

Rayla remembering Callum saving her and holding her, she recalling his words in the desert, their moment together in such a romantic and nostalgic way, knowing who she is thanks to his words, kind words she didn't hear before, knowing in that moment where her home is, not in the place that didn't accept her but with the person she truly loves.

Her heart isn't for Xadia anymore, is for Callum: the best thing she ever had.

#im so happy we know why she came back #but I hope they show it in the series because people who dont read these need to know and callum needs to know me thinks #im still emo #canon confirmation she thinks he is her home guys #one of the best pieces of rayllum medias aaah #hurts more now how he treated her in the season uf #like understandable for his part but hurts! #they are gonna kill me rayla i love u romantic lil sht #tdp #tdp spoilers #chasing shadows #the dragon prince #mystery of aaravos #elrabos #rayllum #rayla x callum #tdp rayla

[blutopaz15]

I stg if part three of chasing shadows is Rayla headed back to Katolis to get dark magic shit out of the dungeon for Redfeather, I am going to LOSE my MIND.

incredibly guilty about having an ulterior motive for going home

edgefrazzled and nervous about seeing Callum again!!!!

a lot conflicted about knowing that this means she’ll have to leave again

maybe rushing to get there by his birthday??

most of all SO RELIEVED to be going home to her mage <3

PLEASE

[numptypylon]

Rayla, when you’re a 17-year-old marshmallow getting manipulated into joining a pitfighting ring on a hellhole pirate island… it’s time to rethink your life choices.

Go home and study for your highschool midterms

And get some much needed hugs

I’m emotionally compromised after chapter 2 of Chasing Shadows, and my alarm goes off in 5 hours and 15 minutes and all brain wants to do is cry and finish pitfighter Rayla fanart

In the pit, the human charged forward, sword aloft. And in the crowd behind him, a flash of red. A scarf.

“He is a dragon,” Cecil stated “I told you when they hatched they’d be a toddler.”

“I know I just …” Jonah shook his head “it’s a lot to wrap my head around. All I know right now is I love our little dragon and that’s never going to change.”

“Our family is complete,” Cecil sighed leaning into Jonah as they cuddled their newly hatched son.

“He looks like you,” Jonah said, “dark hair, horns and his eyes are blue.”  

“We’ll need Doctor Ward to check him over,” Cecil said.

“I’ll call him,” Jonah promised “being a doctor I’m sure he’s used to getting calls at all hours.”

Chasing Shadows ✧ K. Bakugo (1)

CW: death of a major character, death by suicide, a lot of depressing thoughts, depression all around, if I missed anything: lmk

Pairing: Katsuki Bakugo x dead fem!reader

THIS WEEK HAS BEEN long, painful and exhausting.

MONDAY was like any other day: go to class, take notes, spar training with classmates, then head back to the dorms for some much needed rest.

Once in the dorms: Katsuki headed to his girlfriend’s room. She wasn’t in class today so he took notes for her and got her homework.

When he knocked on her door, there was no answer.

“[Y/n]?” He asked through the door. No response.

“[Y/n], it’s Katsuki.” Once again, no response.

He figured she was sleeping, so he slowly opened the door to leave the notes and homework on her desk. When he placed the notebook on her desk, he saw something in her bathroom in his peripheral.

He pushes the door open, his eyes widening and tears immediately brimming the moment he sees her.

He’s by her side in an instant. “[Y/n]?” He questions desperately, his hands cupping her face.

She’s cold.

“[Y/n], please.” He cries. “Wake up.” His voice was soft as he pulls her limp body into his chest.

As he does so, a bottle falls out of her right hand. He picks it up, her still against his chest.

“No…” he lets out breathily as he reads the bottle. The sleeping pills she was prescribed for her insomnia. It had just been refilled; he was the one who picked up the prescription. So why was the bottle empty? “What did you do?!” He throws the bottle, pulling her back to his chest and holding her dead weight.

“Wake up, [Y/n]!” He cries, his fingers entangled in her hair and hot tears streaming down his face. “WAKE UP GODDAMNIT! WAKE UP!”

“Bakugo, is everything-” Ashido enters the scene, her hands flying to her mouth as she takes in what she’s seeing. “What-” she blinks a few times and pinches her arm, as if she’s having a very vivid nightmare. But when she reopens her eyes, and sees her best friend’s dead body in Bakugo’s arms; she knew it was real.

Ashido falls to her knees, her arms wrapped around herself as she sobs. “NO!” She screams.

Kirishima was next to rush into the room when he heard his girlfriend scream. “Mina! Are you-” he stops mid sentence at the scene in front of him. “GUYS!” He screams, getting everyone in the vicinity’s attention.

Midoriya, Jiro, Kaminari and Todoroki come rushing into the room. “Kirishima?! Is everything OK?” Midoriya questions quickly.

“No,” Katsuki cries. “[Y/n], baby, please.” He begs, pushing hair out of her face and placing his forehead against her cold one. “Wake up. You can’t leave me. We have so much to do. Please, princess.” He cries, his tears landing on her face.

“Kacchan,” Midoriya approaches Katsuki.

“GO AWAY, DEKU!” He screams.

“Bakugo,” Todoroki says, trying to keep his own emotions under control.

“Kacchan, come on,” Midoriya grabs Katsuki’s shoulder.

“DONT TOUCH ME!” Katsuki screams, shoving Midoriya off.

“Bakugo,” —says Aizawa— “come on.”

Katsuki ignores everyone, crying as he holds his world in his arms. “Just a couple more minutes. I’ll bring her downstairs soon. Just— give us a minute. Please.” His voice was weak from all the crying, his tear ducts pretty much empty at this point.

Everyone leaves the room; Kirishima, Midoriya, and Todoroki stand outside the dorm room door just to be on the safe side.

“Why?” Katsuki questions softly, caressing [Y/n]’s cold face and rubbing his thumb against her cheek. “I love you, [Y/n].” He places his forehead against her’s again. “Why’d you have to go?”

MONDAY WAS LIKE ANY other day. Until it wasn’t.
